Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an excellent diagnostic tool that provides high-resolution images of pancreatic cystic lesions. However, its role in the diagnosis of malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) remains limited and unclear. We aimed to determine the usefulness of this modality for such diagnosis. METHODS Overall, 246 patients who underwent EUS for IPMN after computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from April 2018 to June 2021 were followed up until March 2022. We assessed the added value of performing EUS after CT or MRI for diagnosing malignant IPMN, using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Walls as thick as 2 mm were considered thickened in this study if they were highly uneven. RESULTS EUS clearly enhanced accuracy in identifying enhancing nodules and thickened walls. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were 0.655 (0.549-0.760) and 0.566 (0.478-0.654) upon CT/MRI but 0.853 (0.763-0.942) and 0.725 (0.634-0.817) when observed using EUS. The combination of nodule size, thickened wall, and main duct size yielded the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.944 [0.915-0.973]). CONCLUSIONS EUS more accurately detects malignant IPMN, as uneven wall thickening and certain nodules cannot be identified with CT/MRI.

Association of high-risk stigmata and worrisome features with advanced neoplasia in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN): A systematic review. Pancreatology 2024; 24:48-61. [PMID: 38161091 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the International Consensus Fukuoka Guidelines (ICG2017) in identifying high-risk lesions of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (IPMNs). METHODS The ICG2017 revision committee conducted a comprehensive literature review to establish evidence-based statements on IPMNs. The review focused on articles examining the diagnostic value of imaging features (e.g., cyst or main pancreatic duct diameter), clinical symptoms associated with IPMN, and serum biomarkers. Five clinical questions regarding high-risk stigmata (HRS) and worrisome features (WF) in the ICG2017 guidelines were addressed. RESULTS A total of 210 articles were reviewed. The findings revealed a significant association between the presence of mural nodules ≥5 mm in diameter or solid components with contrast enhancement and the diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma. Contrast-enhanced diagnostic tools, such as CT, MRI, or EUS, demonstrated the highest prediction rate and were recommended. Positive cytology was identified as an HRS, while symptoms like acute pancreatitis and cyst diameter growth ≥2.5 mm per year were considered WFs. The use of nomograms and multiple diagnostic factors was recommended for optimal IPMN management. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides evidence supporting the improved diagnostic accuracy of ICG2017 in identifying high-risk lesions of IPMN. The multidisciplinary incorporation of HRS and WF based on imaging findings and clinical symptoms is crucial. These findings should inform the revision of ICG2017, enhancing the evaluation and management of IPMN patients. By implementing these recommendations, clinicians can make more informed decisions, leading to better diagnosis and treatment outcomes for high-risk IPMN cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of high-b-value computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) on solid lesion detection and classification in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and histopathology as a standard of reference. METHODS Eighty-two patients with known or suspected IPMN were retrospectively enrolled. Computed high-b-value images at b = 1000 s/mm2 were calculated from standard (b = 0, 50, 300, and 600 s/mm2) DWI images for conventional full field-of-view (fFOV, 3 × 3 × 4 mm3 voxel size) DWI. A subset of 39 patients received additional high-resolution reduced-field-of-view (rFOV, 2.5 × 2.5 × 3 mm3 voxel size) DWI. In this cohort, rFOV cDWI was compared against fFOV cDWI additionally. Two experienced radiologists evaluated (Likert scale 1-4) image quality (overall image quality, lesion detection and delineation, fluid suppression within the lesion). In addition, quantitative image parameters (apparent signal-to-noise ratio (aSNR), apparent contrast-to-noise ratio (aCNR), contrast ratio (CR)) were assessed. Diagnostic confidence regarding the presence/absence of diffusion-restricted solid nodules was assessed in an additional reader study. RESULTS High-b-value cDWI at b = 1000 s/mm2 outperformed acquired DWI at b = 600 s/mm2 regarding lesion detection, fluid suppression, aCNR, CR, and lesion classification (p = < .001-.002). Comparing cDWI from fFOV and rFOV revealed higher image quality in high-resolution rFOV-DWI compared to conventional fFOV-DWI (p ≤ .001-.018). High-b-value cDWI images were rated non-inferior to directly acquired high-b-value DWI images (p = .095-.655). CONCLUSIONS High-b-value cDWI may improve the detection and classification of solid lesions in IPMN. Combining high-resolution imaging and high-b-value cDWI may further increase diagnostic precision. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study shows the potential of computed high-resolution high-sensitivity diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for solid lesion detection in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN). The technique may enable early cancer detection in patients under surveillance. KEY POINTS • Computed high-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) may improve the detection and classification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas. • cDWI calculated from high-resolution imaging increases diagnostic precision compared to cDWI calculated from conventional-resolution imaging. • cDWI has the potential to strengthen the role of MRI for screening and surveillance of IPMN, particularly in view of the rising incidence of IPMNs combined with now more conservative therapeutic approaches.

The effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography findings to distinguish benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-022-09752-3. [PMID: 36881188 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09752-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Accurate evaluation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is necessary to inform clinical decision-making. But it is still difficult to distinguish benign and malignant IPMN preoperatively. This study aims to evaluate the utility of EUS to predict the pathology of IPMN. METHODS Patients with IPMN who underwent endoscopic ultrasound within 3 months before surgery were collected from six centers. Logistic regression model and random forest model were used to determine risk factors associated with malignant IPMN. In both models, 70% and 30% of patients were randomly assigned to the exploratory group and validation group, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and ROC were used in model assessment. RESULTS Of the 115 patients, 56 (48.7%) had low-grade dysplasia (LGD), 25 (21.7%) had high-grade dysplasia (HGD), and 34 (29.6%) had invasive cancer (IC). Smoking history (OR = 6.95, 95%CI: 1.98-24.44, p = 0.002), lymphadenopathy (OR = 7.91, 95%CI: 1.60-39.07, p = 0.011), MPD > 7 mm (OR = 4.75, 95%CI: 1.56-14.47, p = 0.006) and mural nodules > 5 mm (OR = 8.79, 95%CI: 2.40-32.24, p = 0.001) were independent risk factors predicting malignant IPMN according to the logistic regression model. The sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 0.895, 0.571, and 0.795 in the validation group. In the random forest model, the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 0.722, 0.823, and 0.773, respectively. In patients with mural nodules, random forest model could reach a sensitivity of 0.905 and a specificity of 0.900. CONCLUSIONS Using random forest model based on EUS data is effective to differentiate benign and malignant IPMN in this cohort, especially in patients with mural nodules.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) are all considered "Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs)" and show a varying risk of developing into pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These lesions display different molecular characteristics, mutations, and clinical manifestations. A lack of detailed understanding of PCN subtype characteristics and their molecular mechanisms limits the development of efficient diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for these lesions. Proper in vivo mouse models that mimic human PCNs are also needed to study the molecular mechanisms and for therapeutic testing. A comprehensive understanding of the current status of PCN biology, mechanisms, current diagnostic methods, and therapies will help in the early detection and proper management of patients with these lesions and PDAC. This review aims to describe all these aspects of PCNs, specifically IPMNs, by describing the future perspectives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatobiliary MRI is often recommended for patients at risk of developing pancreas cancer. But the surveillance MRI protocol has not yet been widely accepted. PURPOSE To establish an accelerated MRI protocol targeting the table time of 15 minutes for pancreatic cancer surveillance and test its performance in lesion characterization. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION A total of 30 participants were enrolled, who were undergoing follow-up care for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms or newly diagnosed pancreatic cysts (≥10 mm) and were scheduled for or had recently undergone contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE A 3 T; heavily T2WI, 3D MRCP, DWI, dynamic T1WI, two-point Dixon. ASSESSMENT In-room time and table time were measured. Seven radiologists independently reviewed image quality of MRI and then the presence of high-risk stigmata and worrisome features in addition to diagnostic confidence for accelerated MRI, CECT, and the noncontrast part of accelerated MRI (NC-MRI). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables and either the Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney test was performed for continuous variables. The generalized estimated equation was used to compare the diagnostic performance of examinations on a per-patient basis. Interobserver agreement was evaluated via Fleiss kappa. A P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS The in-room time was 18.5 ± 2.6 minutes (range: 13.7-24.9) and the table time was 13.9 ± 1.9 minutes (range: 10.7-17.5). There was no significant difference between the diagnostic performances of the three examinations (pooled sensitivity: 75% for accelerated MRI and CECT, 68% for NC-MRI, P = 0.95), with the highest significant diagnostic confidence for accelerated MRI (4.2 ± 0.1). With accelerated MRI, the interobserver agreement was fair to excellent for high-risk stigmata (κ = 0.34-0.98). DATA CONCLUSION Accelerated MRI protocol affords a table time of 15 minutes, making it potentially suitable for cancer surveillance in patients at risk of developing pancreatic cancer. EVIDENCE LEVEL 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of this study are to compare the performance of various preoperative imaging modalities for assessing the malignant potential of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) through a network meta-analysis (NMA) and to clarify the role of 18 F-FDG PET in the management of patients with PCL. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for the studies evaluating the performance of preoperative imaging modalities for identifying malignant PCLs. The NMA was performed for 4 representative categories of various imaging modalities in terms of diagnostic performance for differentiating malignant from benign PCL and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms only as a subgroup analysis. To calculate the probability of each imaging modality being the most effective diagnostic method, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve values were obtained. RESULTS A total of 1018 patients from 17 direct comparison studies using 2 or more preoperative imaging modalities were included for differentiating malignant from benign PCL. The positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy of 18 F-FDG PET were significantly higher than that of CT (PPV: odds ratio [OR], 2.66; 95% credible interval [CrI], 1.21-6.17; accuracy: OR, 2.63; 95% CrI, 1.41-5.38) or MRI (PPV: OR, 2.50; 95% CrI, 1.09-6.26; accuracy: OR, 2.50; 95% CrI, 1.28-5.47) in all PCLs, as well as in the subgroup analysis for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm only. 18 F-FDG PET showed the highest surface under the cumulative ranking curve values in all diagnostic performance areas of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, negative predictive value, and accuracy, followed by MRI or CT. CONCLUSIONS The results from this NMA suggest that 18 F-FDG PET is the best preoperative imaging modality for differentiating malignant from benign PCLs and that it can be used for the preoperative evaluation of PCLs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Branch duct-intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs) are the most common pancreatic cystic tumours and have a low risk of malignant transformation. Current guidelines only evaluate cyst diameter as an important risk factor but it is not always easy to measure, especially when comparing different methods. On the other side, cyst volume is a new parameter with low inter-observer variability and is highly reproducible over time.
AIM To assess both diameter and volume growth rate of BD-IPMNs and evaluate their correlation with the development of malignant characteristics.
METHODS Computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance imaging exams were retrospectively reviewed. The diameter was measured on three planes, while the volume was calculated by segmentation: The volume of the entire cyst was determined by manually drawing a region of interest along the edge of the neoplasm on each consecutive slice covering the whole lesion; therefore, a three-dimensional volume of interest was finally obtained with the calculated value expressed in cm3. Changes in size over time were measured. The development of worrisome features was evaluated.
RESULTS We evaluated exams of 98 patients across a 40.5-mo median follow-up time. Ten patients developed worrisome features. Cysts at baseline were significantly larger in patients who developed worrisome features (diameters P = 0.0035, P = 0.00652, P = 0.00424; volume P = 0.00222). Volume growth rate was significantly higher in patients who developed worrisome features (1.12 cm3/year vs 0 cm3/year, P = 0.0001); diameter growth rate was higher as well, but the difference did not always reach statistical significance. Volume but not diameter growth rate in the first year of follow-up was higher in patients who developed worrisome features (0.46 cm3/year vs 0 cm3/year, P = 0.00634).
CONCLUSION The measurement of baseline volume and its variation over time is a reliable tool for the follow-up of BD-IPMNs. Volume measurement could be a better tool than diameter measurement to predict the development of worrisome features.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) represent approximately 1% of all pancreatic neoplasms and 25% of cystic neoplasms. They are divided into three types: main duct-IPMN (MD-IPPMN), branch duct-IPMN (BD-IPMN), and mixed type-IPMN. In this review, diagnostics, including clinical presentation and radiological investigations, were described. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most useful for most IPMNs. Management depends on the type and radiological features of IPMNs. Surgery is recommended for MD-IPMN. For BD-IPMN, management involves surgery or surveillance depending on the tumor size, cyst growth rate, solid components, main duct dilatation, high-grade dysplasia in cytology, the presence of symptoms (jaundice, new-onset diabetes, pancreatitis), and CA 19.9 serum level. The patient’s age and comorbidities should also be taken into consideration. Currently, there are different guidelines regarding the diagnosis and management of IPMNs. In this review, the following guidelines were presented: Sendai International Association of Pancreatology guidelines (2006), American Gastroenterological Association guidelines, revised international consensus Fukuoka guidelines (2012), revised international consensus Fukuoka guidelines (2017), and European evidence-based guidelines according to the European Study Group on Cystic Tumours of the Pancreas (2018). The Verona Evidence-Based Meeting 2020 was also presented and discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although considerable progress has been made in our understanding of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas, there are still some problems to be solved. BACKGROUND IPMN is one of the most important precancerous lesions of pancreatic cancer, but the relationship between IPMN and pancreatic cancer, and the specific mechanism of the development from IPMN to invasive carcinoma, remain to be explored in depth. With the development of imaging, the detection rate of IPMN has been greatly improved. However, the degree of malignancy of IPMN is difficult to assess, and its classification criteria and surgical treatment strategies are still controversial. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the best treatment plan for IPMN and research that can better predict IPMN recurrence and tumor malignancy. METHODS From the online database Web of Science (https://webofknowledge.com/) and PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), we use specific retrieval strategies to retrieve relevant articles based on the topics we discussed, and we review and discuss them. CONCLUSIONS This paper discusses the related research and progress of IPMN in recent years to improve the understanding of the incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease. The follow-up and monitoring of IPMN is particularly important, but the specific strategy also remains controversial.

Abstract
Incidental pancreatic cysts are commonly encountered in radiology practice. Although some of these are benign, mucinous varieties have a potential to undergo malignant transformation. Characterization of some incidental pancreatic cysts based on imaging alone is limited, and given that some pancreatic cysts have a malignant potential, various societies have created guidelines for the management and follow-up of incidental pancreatic cysts. This article reviews the imaging findings and work-up of pancreatic cysts and gives an overview of the societal guidelines for the management and follow-up of incidental pancreatic cysts.

Abstract
In clinical practice, differentiating benign from malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) preoperatively is crucial for deciding future treating algorithm. However, it remains challenging as benign and malignant lesions usually show similarities in both imaging appearances and clinical indices. Therefore, a robust and accurate computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on radiomics and clinical indices was proposed in this paper to solve this dilemma. In the proposed CAD system, 107 patients were enrolled, where 90 cases were randomly selected for the training set with 5-fold cross validation to build the diagnostic model, while 17 cases were remained for an independent testing set to validate the performance. 436 high-throughput radiomics features while 9 clinical indices were designed and extracted. A novel feature selection algorithm named BLR (Bootstrapping repeated LASSO with Random selections) was proposed to select the most effective features. Then the selected features were sent to Support Vector Machine (SVM) to differentiate the benign or malignant. In the cross-validation cohort and independent testing cohort, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of CAD scheme were 0.83 and 0.92, respectively. The results fully prove the proposed CAD system achieves significant effect in tumors diagnosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE To assess the malignancy potential of intraduct papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) on multidetector-row computerized tomography according to the 2012 International Consensus Guidelines (ICG). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study retrospectively collected IPMNs confirmed by surgery from 2016 to 2019. The imaging findings of IPMNs were analyzed. IPMNs were classified as malignancy in the presence of high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma and began in the presence of low- and intermediate-grade dysplasia. RESULTS A total of 207 patients (mean age: 63.7 ± 7.9 years) were included, and the prevalence of malignancy was 28.0% (58 of 207). According to the 2012 ICG, the imaging findings of IPMNs were divided into worrisome features (WFs) and high-risk stigmata (HRS). The malignancy of IPMN with only one WF was relatively low (1.4%, 3 of 207). In multivariate regression analyses, the independent factors of IPMNs were enhanced mural nodule ≥5 mm (odds ratio [OR] = 19.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.8-55.4), abrupt change in the main pancreatic duct caliber with distal pancreatic atrophy (OR = 4.6, 95%CI 1.67-12.71), and thickened enhanced cyst walls (OR = 2.9, 95%CI 1.1-8.2). When the presence of more than two WFs or HRS (score ≥ 3) was regarded as indicating the malignancy potential of IPMNs on multidetector-row computerized tomography, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 89.7%, 75.8%, 79.7%, 59.1%, and 95.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION According to the ICG in 2012, patients with IPMNs with only one WF have a low risk for malignancy, and the presence of at least two WFs or any HRS (score ≥3) suggests malignant IPMNs.

Abstract
Simple Summary Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are common but difficult to manage since accurate tools for diagnosing malignancy are unavailable. This study evaluates the diagnostic value of main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter for detecting IPMN malignancy, using a meta-analysis of published data. The result suggests that malignancy is highly prevalent in IPMN with ductal dilatation of >5 mm. Abstract Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are common but difficult to manage since accurate tools for diagnosing malignancy are unavailable. This study tests the diagnostic value of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter for detecting IPMN malignancy using a meta-analysis of published data of resected IPMNs. Collected from a comprehensive literature search, the articles included in this analysis must report malignancy cases (high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC)) and MPD diameter so that two MPD cut-offs could be created. The sensitivity, specificity, and odds ratios of the two cutoffs for predicting malignancy were calculated. A review of 1493 articles yielded 20 retrospective studies with 3982 resected cases. A cutoff of ≥5 mm is more sensitive than the ≥10 mm cutoff and has pooled sensitivity of 72.20% and 75.60% for classification of HGD and IC, respectively. Both MPD cutoffs of ≥5 mm and ≥10 mm were associated with malignancy (OR = 4.36 (95% CI: 2.82, 6.75) vs. OR = 3.18 (95% CI: 2.25, 4.49), respectively). The odds of HGD and IC for patients with MPD ≥5 mm were 5.66 (95% CI: 3.02, 10.62) and 7.40 (95% CI: 4.95, 11.06), respectively. OR of HGD and IC for MPD ≥10 mm cutoff were 4.36 (95% CI: 3.20, 5.93) and 4.75 (95% CI: 2.39, 9.45), respectively. IPMN with MPD of >5 mm could very likely be malignant. In selected IPMN patients, pancreatectomy should be considered when MPD is >5 mm.

Diagnostic Accuracy of MRI for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Pancreatic Cystic Lesions Compared to CT and Endoscopic Ultrasound: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Magn Reson Imaging 2021; 54:1126-1137. [PMID: 33847435 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.27606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Differentiation of benign and malignant pancreatic cystic lesions on MRI, computed tomography (CT), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is critical for determining management. PURPOSE To perform a systematic review evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for diagnosing malignant pancreatic cystic lesions, and to compare the accuracy of MRI to CT and EUS. STUDY TYPE Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until February 2020 for studies reporting MRI accuracy for assessing pancreatic cystic lesions. FIELD STRENGTH 1.5T or 3.0T. ASSESSMENT Methodologic and outcome data were extracted by two reviewers (AU and MA, 2 years of experience each). All studies of pancreatic cystic lesions on MRI were identified. Studies with incomplete MRI technique were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS)-2 tool. STATISTICAL TESTS Sensitivity/specificity was pooled using bivariate random-effects meta-analysis with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Pairwise-comparison of MRI to CT and EUS was performed. The impact of gadolinium-based contrast agents, mucinous lesions, and risk of bias were explored using meta-regression. RESULTS MRI pooled sensitivity was 76% (95%CI 67% to 84%) and specificity was 80% (95%CI 74% to 85%) for distinguishing benign and malignant lesions. MRI and CT had similar sensitivity (P = 0.822) and specificity (P = 0.096), but MRI was more specific than EUS (80% vs. 75%, P < 0.05). Studies including only contrast-enhanced MRI were more sensitive than those including unenhanced exams (P < 0.05). MRI sensitivity and specificity did not differ for mucinous lesions (P = 0.537 and P = 0.384, respectively) or for studies at risk of bias (P = 0.789 and P = 0.791, respectively). DATA CONCLUSION MRI and CT demonstrate comparable accuracy for diagnosing malignant pancreatic cystic lesions. EUS is less specific than MRI, which suggests that, in some cases, management should be guided by MRI findings rather than EUS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to investigate the detection rate of transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) for pancreatic cysts incidentally detected on CT or MRI as well as the factors that influence detection rates. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Fifty-seven patients with low-risk pancreatic cysts (n = 77; cyst size, 5 mm to 3 cm) that were incidentally detected on CT or MRI were prospectively enrolled at five institutions. At each institution, TAUS was independently performed by two radiologists who assessed detection of cysts, cyst location and size, and the diameter of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). Cyst detection rates based on cyst size, location, and multiplicity and the body mass index of the patient were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. Kappa statistics and the interclass correlation coefficient were used to evaluate interobserver agreement regarding cyst detection and consistency of cyst size and the diameter of the MPD on TAUS versus prior CT or MRI. RESULTS. The detection rate for known low-risk pancreatic cysts was 81.8% (63/77) and 83.1% (64/77) for TAUS conducted by each of the two radiologists. The detection rate for larger (≥ 10 mm) cysts was significantly higher than that for smaller cysts (89.0% vs 63.6% for TAUS performed and interpreted by radiologist 1 [TAUS 1] and 89.0% vs 68.2% for TAUS conducted and interpreted by radiologist 2 [TAUS 2]; p < .05). A higher detection rate was noted for cysts located outside the tail of the pancreas compared with those located in the tail (89.5% vs 65.0% for TAUS 2; p = .01), and the detection rate was also significantly higher for single cysts than for multiple cysts (90.9% vs 69.7% for TAUS 1; p = .02). However, no significant difference was observed for body mass index. Interobserver agreement was excellent regarding the size of the detected cysts (inter-class correlation coefficient: 0.964 [95% CI, 0.940-0.979] for CT, TAUS 1, and TAUS 2 and 0.965 [95% CI. 0.924-986] for MRI, TAUS 1, and TAUS 2) and the diameter of the MPD (interclass correlation coefficient, 0.934; 95% CI, 0.898-0.959). CONCLUSION. TAUS could be a useful alternative imaging tool for surveillance of known low-risk pancreatic cysts, especially single pancreatic cysts and those that are of larger size (≥ 1 cm) or are located outside the tail.

Cytopathology 2021; 32:397-406. [PMID: 33792980 DOI: 10.1111/cyt.12973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) constitutes up to 20% of all pancreatic resections, and has been increasing in recent years. Histomorphological findings of IPMN are well established; however, there are not many published papers regarding the cytological findings of IPMN on fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens. We review the cytomorphological features, molecular profile, imaging findings, and prognosis of IPMN. METHODS The English literature was thoroughly searched with key phrases containing IPMN. OBSERVATIONS IPMN is a rare entity, affecting men and women equally and is usually diagnosed at the age of 60-70 years. The characteristic imaging features include a cystic lesion with associated dilatation of the main or branch pancreatic duct, and atrophy of surrounding pancreatic parenchyma. Cytomorphological features of IPMN include papillary fragments of mucinous epithelium in a background of abundant thick extracellular mucin, a hallmark feature. IPMNs should be evaluated for high-grade dysplasia, which manifests with nuclear atypia, nuclear moulding, prominent nucleoli, nuclear irregularity, and cellular crowding. Molecular profiling of IPMN along with carcinoembryonic antigen and amylase levels is useful in predicting malignancy or high-grade dysplasia arising in IPMN. Overall, the prognosis of IPMN is excellent except in those cases with high-grade dysplasia and malignant transformation. Postoperative surveillance is required for resected IPMNs. CONCLUSION IPMN requires a multidisciplinary approach for management. Cytomorphological findings of IPMN on FNA, in conjunction with tumour markers in pancreatic fluid cytology and imaging findings, are of paramount importance in clinical decision-making for IPMN.

Abstract
There have been many publications detailing imaging features of malignant transformation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), management and recommendations for imaging follow-up of diagnosed or presumed IPMN. However, there is no consensus on several practical aspects of imaging IPMN that could serve as a clinical guide for radiologists and enable future data mining for research. These aspects include how to measure IPMN, define reporting terminology, standardize reporting and unify guidelines for surveillance. The Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) created multiple Disease-Focused Panels (DFP) comprised multidisciplinary panel members who focus on a particular disease, with the goal to develop ways for radiologists to improve patient care, education, and research. DFP members met to identify the current controversies and limitations of imaging pancreatic IPMN. This paper aims to provide a practical review of the key imaging characteristics of IPMN for trainees and practicing radiologists, to guide uniformity of performance and interpretation of surveillance imaging studies, and to improve communication with clinicians by providing a lexicon and reporting template based on the experience of the SAR-DFP panel members.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For surveillance of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is preferred over computed tomography, but the long acquisition time limits its use. PURPOSE To investigate the diagnostic performance of abbreviated MRI with breath-hold (BH) three-dimensional MRCP (abbreviated MRI-BH) for malignant risk assessment of pancreatic IPMN. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION Two hundred and thirty-five patients with IPMNs (M:F = 115:120; mean age ± SD, 66 ± 9 years; typical imaging features with ≥2-year stability [N = 172] and histopathologically confirmed [N = 63]). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3.0 T/ abbreviated MRI-BH (single-shot fast spin-echo, T1W fat-suppressed gradient-echo sequence, and BH-3D-MRCP). ASSESSMENT Abbreviated MRI-BH was reviewed by three reviewers, and its diagnostic performance was assessed using the predetermined scoring system. The diagnostic performance for the mural nodule detection was assessed. Additionally, diagnostic performance of abbreviated MRI was compared with that of full-sequence MRI. STATISTICAL TESTS Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with z-test, and linear-weighted kappa values. RESULTS Thirty-five patients had malignant IPMN. At a cut-off score ≥3, AUCs of abbreviated MRI-BH for detecting malignant IPMN were 0.959 for reviewer 1, 0.962 for reviewer 2, and 0.956 for reviewer 3. The sensitivity of reviewers 1, 2, and 3 was 97.1% for all, and the specificity was 85.5%, 86.0%, and 85.0%, respectively. Regarding mural nodule detection (N = 22), abbreviated MRI-BH demonstrated a sensitivity of 95.5% and a specificity of 88.3% for reviewer 1, a sensitivity of 86.4% and a specificity of 92.0% for reviewer 2, and a sensitivity of 86.4% and a specificity of 89.2% for reviewer 3. There were no significant differences between AUC of abbreviated MRI-BH and that of full-sequence MRI in the three reviewers (P > 0.05). DATA CONCLUSION Abbreviated MRI-BH showed good diagnostic performance for detecting malignant IPMNs by using a predetermined scoring system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

[PMID: 33803522 PMCID: PMC8002963 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurate detection of malignant transformation and risk-stratification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) has remained a diagnostic challenge. Preliminary findings have indicated a promising role of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in detecting malignant IPMN. Therefore, the aim of this model-based economic evaluation was to analyze whether supplemental FDG-PET/CT could be cost-effective in patients with IPMN. Decision analysis and Markov modeling were applied to simulate patients' health states across a time frame of 15 years. CT/MRI based imaging was compared to a strategy with supplemental 18F-FDG-PET/CT. Cumulative costs in US-$ and outcomes in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) were computed based on input parameters extracted from recent literature. The stability of the model was evaluated by deterministic sensitivity analyses. In the base-case scenario, the CT/MRI-strategy resulted in cumulative discounted costs of USD $106,424 and 8.37 QALYs, while the strategy with supplemental FDG-PET/CT resulted in costs of USD $104,842 and a cumulative effectiveness of 8.48 QALYs and hence was cost-saving. A minimum specificity of FDG-PET/CT of 71.5% was required for the model to yield superior net monetary benefits compared to CT/MRI. This model-based economic evaluation indicates that supplemental 18F-FDG-PET/CT could have a favorable economic value in the management of IPMN and could be cost-saving in the chosen setting. Prospective studies with standardized protocols for FDG-PET/CT could help to better determine the value of FDG-PET/CT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the current study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/computed tomography (CT) for characterization of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) through a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The PubMed and Embase database were searched for studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT for characterization of IPMN. RESULTS Across 14 studies (752 patients), the pooled sensitivity for F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT was 0.84 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-0.89) with heterogeneity (I2 = 55.5, P = 0.01) and a pooled specificity of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.88-0.98) with heterogeneity (I2 = 83.9, P < 0.001). Likelihood ratio (LR) syntheses gave an overall positive likelihood ratio (LR+) of 17.4 (95% CI, 6.5-46.8) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) of 0.17 (95% CI, 0.12-0.25). The pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 101 (95% CI, 31-327). Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve and indicates that the areas under the curve were 0.93 (95% CI, 0.90-0.95). CONCLUSIONS The current meta-analysis showed a high sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio, and the LR scatter gram of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT for determination of characteristics of IPMN.

Abstract
PURPOSE Magnetic Resonance (MR) is recommended to diagnose Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (IPMN) and in the follow-up of borderline lesions. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic MR with Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) in the identification of mural nodules of pancreatic IPMN by using pathological analysis as gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-one preoperative MR with histopathological diagnosis of IPMN were reviewed by two radiologists. Presence, number and size of mural nodule, signal intensity of the nodule on T1-weighted imaging (T1-WI) after contrast medium administration and on DWI. Inter-observer agreement was evaluated. RESULTS Significant correlation (p < 0.0001) were found for presence of nodules > 5 mm on MR and pathological specimen, size and number of mural nodules evaluated on pathological review and degree of dysplasia, size and number of mural nodules evaluated on MR and tumoral dysplasia, presence of nodule > 5 mm with enhancement after contrast medium administration and hyperintensity on DWI and degree of dysplasia. Interobserver agreement was moderate for the presence of mural nodule (K = 0.56), for the presence of high signal intensity on DWI (K = 0.57) and enhancement of mural nodule (K = 0.58). Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) map histogram analysis showed a correlation between Entropy of the entire cystic lesion and the degree of dysplasia (p < 0.034). CONCLUSIONS MR with dynamic and DWI sequences was an accurate method for the identification of ≥ 5 mm solid nodules of the IPMNs and correlate with the lesion malignancy. Entropy, calculated from the histogram analysis of the IPMN ADC map, correlated with the lesion dysplasia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic properties of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI/MRCP) /Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in distinguishing benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible databases were searched for eligible studies, published through July 2020 on the diagnostic accuracy of these modalities. Diagnostic accuracy parameters, including sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC) were calculated. Meta-regression was performed to identify the source of heterogeneity. RESULTS In total, 28 studies were included. Pooled sensitivities for CT, MRI/MRCP, PET/CT, EUS and DWI were 0.7, 0.76, 0.8, 0.6 and 0.72, respectively. Pooled specificities were 0.78, 0.83, 0.9, 0.8 and 0.97. The DORs were 8, 16, 35, 6 and 88. The areas under the curve (AUC) of SROC for CT, MRI/MRCP/MRCP, PET/CT, EUS and DW were 0.8, 0.87, 0.92, 0.79 and 0.82, respectively. CONCLUSION PET/CT showed the highest AUC and the overall diagnostic accuracy results support the use of MRI/MRCP, PET/CT interchangeably as a first-line examination in the diagnosis of malignant IPMN. With regard to DWI, EUS and CT, each techniques have their advantages and supportive to MRI/MRCP.

[PMID: 33114028 PMCID: PMC7690711 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12113089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
To assess the performance of CT-based radiomics analysis in differentiating benign from malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN), preoperative scans of 408 resected patients with IPMN were retrospectively analyzed. IPMNs were classified as benign (low-grade dysplasia, n = 181), or malignant (high grade, n = 128, and invasive, n = 99). Clinicobiological data were reported. Patients were divided into a training cohort (TC) of 296 patients and an external validation cohort (EVC) of 112 patients. After semi-automatic tumor segmentation, PyRadiomics was used to extract radiomics features. A multivariate model was developed using a logistic regression approach. In the training cohort, 85/107 radiomics features were significantly different between patients with benign and malignant IPMNs. Unsupervised clustering analysis revealed four distinct clusters of patients with similar radiomics features patterns with malignancy as the most significant association. The multivariate model differentiated benign from malignant tumors in TC with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.84, sensitivity (Se) of 0.82, specificity (Spe) of 0.74, and in EVC with an AUC of 0.71, Se of 0.69, Spe of 0.57. This large study confirms the high diagnostic performance of preoperative CT-based radiomics analysis to differentiate between benign from malignant IPMNs.

Abstract
MRI has played a critical role in the evaluation of patients with pancreatic pathologies, from screening of patients at high risk for pancreatic cancer to the evaluation of pancreatic cysts and indeterminate pancreatic lesions. The high mortality associated with pancreatic adenocarcinomas has spurred much interest in developing effective screening tools, with MRI using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) playing a central role in the hopes of identifying cancers at earlier stages amenable to curative resection. Ongoing efforts to improve the resolution and robustness of imaging of the pancreas using MRI may thus one day reduce the mortality of this deadly disease. However, the increasing use of cross-sectional imaging has also generated a concomitant clinical conundrum: How to manage incidental pancreatic cystic lesions that are found in over a quarter of patients who undergo MRCP. Efforts to improve the specificity of MRCP for patients with pancreatic cysts and with indeterminate pancreatic masses may be achieved with continued technical advances in MRI, including diffusion-weighted and T1 -weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. However, developments in quantitative MRI of the pancreas remain challenging, due to the small size of the pancreas and its upper abdominal location, adjacent to bowel and below the diaphragm. Further research is needed to improve MRI of the pancreas as a clinical tool, to positively affect the lives of patients with pancreatic abnormalities. This review focuses on various MR techniques such as MRCP, quantitative imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging and their clinical applicability in the imaging of the pancreas, with an emphasis on pancreatic malignant and premalignant lesions.

Abstract
A pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN) is a rare pancreatic disease. Malignant PCNs are usually identified incidentally while evaluating other lesions. However, PCNs are being identified more frequently owing to the increased use of abdominal imaging. Malignant PCNs have complicated and diverse biological behaviors, including various malignant risk factors, diverse molecular features, natural history, and complex pathological classifications. Although many diagnostic methods, such as cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic evaluation, have been developed, malignant PCNs are still difficult to differentiate from benign tumors. On searching for related articles in the recent decade, we found that some molecular biomarkers such as carcinoembryonic antigen could be useful for discriminating between malignant tumors and benign tumors. However, cytopathologic evaluation is the most useful method for differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Although cytopathologic evaluation has a specificity of 100% for identifying malignancies, its accuracy is often hampered by the low cellularity of PCN cells in the cystic fluid. Herein, we review the progress in the use of cellular and molecular markers for the accurate identification of PCNs.

Abstract
Introduction We performed this study to explore the diagnostic accuracies and cutoff values of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection and diagnosis of metastatic retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RLNs) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with a total of 159 RLNs were included in the study. The sizes of maximal and minimal axial diameters of each node on both contrast-enhanced CT and MRI images were measured. The characteristics of the RLNs (malignant or benign), as well as the survival of patients, were classified based on the results of follow-up MRI. Results RLN size cutoffs of 4–11 mm for minimal axial diameter were used. We found that MRI showed higher sensitivity while CT demonstrated higher specificity. The reasonable criterion for the diagnosis of metastatic RLNs in MRI was a minimal axial diameter of ≥6 mm, which yielded a sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 0.71, 0.82 and 10.88. Conclusion The radiologic criteria that should be used for the assessment of RLN metastases in NPC patients are nodes with a minimal axial diameter of ≥6 mm on MR images.

Abstract
The occurrence of incidentally detected pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) is continuously increasing. Radiologic examinations including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography have been widely used as the main diagnostic and surveillance methods for patients with incidental PCLs. Although most incidentally detected PCLs are considered benign, they have the potential to become malignant. Currently, we have several guidelines for the management of incidental PCLs. However, there is still debate over proper management, in terms of accurate diagnosis, optimal follow-up interval, and imaging tools. Because imaging studies play a crucial role in the management of incidental PCLs, the 2017 consensus recommendations of the Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology for the diagnosis and surveillance of incidental PCLs approved 11 out of 16 recommendations. Although several challenges remain in terms of optimization and standardization, these consensus recommendations might serve as useful tools to provide a more standardized approach and to optimize care of patients with incidental PCLs.

Usefulness of septal thickness measurement on endoscopic ultrasound as a predictor of malignancy of branched-duct and mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas. Dig Endosc 2019; 31:672-681.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Septal thickness (ST) can predict a malignant branch-duct (BD) and mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas, but its cut-off value has not been established. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal ST cut-off value to predict malignancy using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). METHODS We retrospectively identified 200 patients with IPMN, including 132 with BD- and mixed-IPMN, who underwent surgical resection between 1989 and 2017. ST was defined as the septum or lesion wall with the maximum diameter in BD- and mixed-IPMN. The possibility of ST as a malignant predictor was examined, as well as the diagnostic ability of ST combined with mural nodule (MN) height for malignant IPMN. RESULTS Among the 132 IPMN patients, pathological diagnosis was benign in 81 (61.4%) and malignant in 51 (38.6%). Area under the curve for the diagnosis of malignancy using ST was 0.74 for pathological specimens, 0.70 for EUS and 0.56 for computed tomography. Multivariate analysis showed that the odds ratios for ST ≥2.5 mm and MN height ≥5 mm were 3.51 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.55-7.97, P = 0.003] and 3.36 (95% CI, 1.52-7.45, P = 0.003), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Septal thickness was an independent predictive factor similar to MN height for malignant IPMN in a multivariate analysis. The ST on EUS appeared to be the thickness of a fibrotic septum associated with the malignant transformation of IPMN. An ST cut-off value of 2.5 mm might provide an accurate prediction of malignant IPMN.

Abstract
Background Several changes have been made to the revised 2017 international consensus guidelines for management of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). However, the diagnostic performance is yet to be verified. Purpose To evaluate the revised guidelines for predicting malignant potential of pancreatic IPMNs and to compare diagnostic performance and intermodality agreement between contrast material-enhanced CT and MRI. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, two radiologists analyzed the preoperative contrast-enhanced CT and MRI of patients with surgically resected pancreatic IPMNs from January 2007 to December 2017. The diagnostic performance of CT and MRI were analyzed by using receiver operating curve analysis. Intermodality agreement was assessed by using weighted κ and intraclass correlation coefficient values. Results A total of 86 patients (mean age, 67.6 years ± 8.9 [standard deviation]; 47 men and 39 women) with pancreatic IPMNs (benign, 58; malignant, 28) were included. At both CT and MRI, enhancing mural nodule (P < .001), abrupt main pancreatic duct caliber change (P < .001), lymphadenopathy (P = .006), larger main pancreatic duct size (P = .003), and faster cyst growth rate (P = .04) were more common in malignant than benign IPMNs. Irrespective of the modality, enhancing mural nodule of 5 mm or greater had the highest odds ratio (25 at CT vs 29 at MRI). The diagnostic performance of CT (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.83 [95% confidence interval: 0.75, 0.92]) and MRI (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.86 [95% confidence interval: 0.77, 0.95]) for predicting malignant IPMNs were comparable (P = .43), with good intermodality agreement (κ = 0.70). Conclusion Among revised features, enhancing mural nodule of 5 mm or greater had the strongest association with malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), and diagnostic performance for prediction of malignant IPMNs were comparable between contrast-enhanced CT and MRI with good intermodality agreement. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the relationships between mural nodules (MNs) and invasive components in patients with invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) on the basis of thin-section contrast-enhanced multidetector CT (CE-MDCT) and pathologic findings. METHODS This retrospective study included 28 patients with surgically confirmed invasive IPMN. Two radiologists independently evaluated the thin-section (1-mm section thickness, no overlap) triple-phase CE-MDCT images for MNs, invasive components, and the continuity between them using a five-point scale (confidence scores of 1-3 as negative, 4 and 5 as positive). Kappa statistic was used to evaluate interobserver agreement. The CE-MDCT findings were correlated with pathologic findings. RESULTS Interobserver agreement was good or excellent. MNs consisting of tumor cells were recognized in 12 (42.9%) of 28 patients with no discrepancy between the two radiologists. Invasive components were detected in 85.7% and 82.1% in the pancreatic parenchymal phase for radiologist 1 and 2, respectively, and recognized as hypoattenuating areas. Pathologic continuities between MNs and invasive components were confirmed in five (41.7%) of 12 patients with MNs and these were detected on CE-MDCT. When combined seven patients without continuities between MNs and invasive components and 16 patients without MNs, the invasive components pathologically derived from non-nodular low-height papillary epithelium in 23 (82.1%) of 28 patients. CONCLUSIONS The invasive components derived more often from low-height papillary epithelium without MN appearance on CE-MDCT than from MN. Careful attention should be paid to the existence of an invasive component even in the absence of an enhancing MN.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are premalignant mucin-producing epithelial tumors that arise from the pancreatic ductal system. These cystic tumors represent 15-30% of cystic lesions of the pancreas [Basturk et al. in Am J Surg Pathol 39(12):1730-1741, 1; Ferrone et al. in Arch Surg (Chicago, Ill: 1960) 144(5):448-454, 2, Kosmahl et al. in Virchows Arch Int J Pathol 445(2):168-178, 3; Spinelli et al. in Ann Surg. 239(5):651-657, 4]. It is believed that IPMN can progress from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia to invasive cancer, and this pathway of progression accounts for 20-30% of pancreatic cancer [Adsay et al. in Am J Surg Pathol 28(7):839-848, 5; Tanaka et al. in J Gastroenterol 40(7):669-675, 6; Wu et al. in Sci Transl Med 3(92):92ra66, 7]. Furthermore, it is also widely believed that IPMN represent a field defect of the pancreas in which the entire ductal system is at risk of developing invasive carcinoma, not only in the area of radiographically detectable IPMN, and thus the remaining gland should undergo surveillance after partial pancreatectomy [Salvia et al. in Ann Surg 239(5):678-685, 8; Izawa et al. in Cancer 92(7):1807-1817, 9; Yamaguchi and Tanaka in Jpn J Clin Oncol 41(7):836-840, 10]. Increasingly, surgeons are faced with the dilemma between recommending highly complex resections-that have significant morbidity and mortality-in patients who may have low-risk IPMN (low-grade dysplasia), or alternatively, recommending observation for those who could possibly be harboring a radiographically occult malignancy. Given the complexity of the management decisions for patients with IPMN, the purpose of this paper is to review the current literature and to provide a summary of how accurate we are currently with the identification of high-grade dysplasia or progression to carcinoma in patients who present with IPMN.

Abstract
PURPOSE Post-surgical upper gastrointestinal anatomy may hamper a complete bilio-pancreatic evaluation with a standard echoendoscope. The aim of this study was to assess the role of catheter probe extraductal ultrasound (EDUS) for the evaluation of the common bile duct (CBD) in patients who are status post-gastric surgery and who are suspected of having choledocholithiasis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with a prior history of gastric surgery, who underwent EDUS for a suspicion of CBD obstruction. For each patient, technical success, accuracy, and safety were recorded. In case of a positive finding of CBD stones, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed. In case of other findings or a negative EDUS, computed tomography or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was performed as appropriate. RESULTS EDUS was technically successful in all the 11 patients with a Billroth II gastrectomy, while it failed in all the 5 patients with Roux-en-Y gastric surgery. EDUS accuracy was 100% (3 true-positive and 8 true-negative cases). CBD stones, confirmed and successfully extracted at ERCP, were found in two patients, while in one patient EDUS showed a CBD stenosis that was treated with a plastic stent during ERCP; computed tomography at follow-up was negative for cancer. EDUS was correctly negative in 8 patients, as confirmed by MRCP. CONCLUSIONS EDUS may represent an accurate and safe alternative to standard endoscopic ultrasonography and MRCP for the detection of CBD stones in elderly patients who are status post-Billroth II gastric surgery.

Pancreatology 2018; 18:170-175. [PMID: 29338919 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2018.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2017] [Revised: 01/02/2018] [Accepted: 01/04/2018] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the agreement between the imaging modalities MRI-MRCP and EUS in cystic lesions of the pancreas which were thought to be a BD-IPMN. METHODS Multicenter retrospective study included all patients between 2010 and 2015 with a suspected BD-IPMN who underwent an EUS and MRI-MRCP within 6 months or less of each other. Location, number, size, worrisome features and high-risk stigmata were evaluated. Interobserver agreement was evaluated by Kappa score. RESULTS 173 patients were included (97 UHSC, 76 UCLH-RFH), mean age 65 (range 25-87 years), 66 males. When comparing both modalities there was good agreement for the location of the cyst. The median lesion size was larger by MRI-MRCP than EUS although it was not significant. With regards to worrisome features, there was moderate agreement for main PD of 5-9 mm and abrupt change (k = 0.45 and 0.52). Fair agreement was seen for the cyst wall thickening (k = 0.25). No agreement was seen between the presence of non-enhanced mural nodules or lymphadenopathy (k < 0). With regards to high-risk stigmata, poor agreement was obtained for the detection of an enhanced solid component (k = 0.12). No agreement was observed for main PD > 10 mm (k < 0). CONCLUSIONS In this multicentre study of patients with a BD-IPMN under active surveillance, most disagreement between these modalities was seen in the proximal pancreas. There was generally only minimal concordance between the imaging findings of EUS and MRI-MRCP for the detection of high-risk stigmata and worrisome features.

[PMID: 29146108 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2017.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2017] [Revised: 11/05/2017] [Accepted: 11/06/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic incidentalomas (PI) are nowadays common but the benefit-risk balance of surgery remains difficult to determine. METHODS Monocentric retrospective study of 881 pancreatectomies comparing resected PI with symptomatic lesion. Univariate and multivariate (MV) analyses were done to identify risk factors of malignancy in PI undergoing surgery. RESULTS Overall, 32% of pancreatectomies were performed for PI. Median size of PI was 30 mm (vs 28 mm; p = 0.15) and 49% were cystic (vs 42%; p = 0.197). Resected PI were mostly located in distal pancreas (61% vs 34%; p < 0.001), less frequently malignant (49% vs 59%; p = 0.004). PNETs were more frequent in PI (50% vs 21%; p < 0.001). Distal pancreatectomy (36% vs 23%; p < 0.001) or parenchyma-sparing surgery (34% vs 13%; p < 0.001) were more frequently performed for PI. Overall mortality (1.1% vs 1.2%) and morbidity (70% vs 68%) were not significantly different between both groups. Severe morbidity was lower for PI (15% vs 22%; p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, age>55 years (HR 6.14; p < 0.001), size >20 mm (HR:26.7; p < 0.001) and biliary dilatation (HR 29.9; p = 0.027) were independent risk factors of malignancy and, when associated, the likelihood of malignancy was above 90%. CONCLUSIONS PI represent about 30% of indications for pancreatectomy and when resected after careful selection are malignant in 50% of cases.
